But, before the gecko entry, I also have: MozPlugger 1.12.1 handles QuickTime and Windows Media Player Plugin File name: nswrapper_64_64.mozplugger.so MozPlugger version 1.12.1, written by Fredrik Hübinette, Louis Bavoil and Peter Leese. For documentation on how to configure mozplugger, check the man page. (type man mozplugger) Configuration file: Not found! Helper binary: Not found! Controller binary: Not found! Link launcher binary: Not found! MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled (...) application/x-mplayer2 Windows Media video * Yes video/x-ms-asf Windows Media video asf,asx Yes video/x-ms-wm Windows Media video wm Yes video/x-ms-wmv Windows Media video wmv Yes video/x-ms-wvx Windows Media video wvx Yes video/x-ms-asf-plugin Window Media video * Yes application/asx Windows Media video asx Yes I already tried choosing other options than Mozplugger in Preferences Applications and it. I just disabled MozPlugger and I'll see what happens tomorrow. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
